Twilight/Loid was seriously lucky that Yor's heel broke during that last kick. If it didn't...

A Linguistic Analysis of the Spelling Names "Ania" and "Anya" (and the chapter and languages of Ostania)

This includes spoilers from Short Mission 11, or Chapter 90.1

It's not a secret that Anya's (Ania) name change was officialized along with Loid (Lloyd) and Yor (Yoru/Yolanda) in July 2019. I do recall that our loveable Forger family had different spellings in the early manga releases. Many believed that it was Endo-san's way to cover up the spelling mistake, but I believe that, whether or not the origin and/or intention was a mistake, it paved a beautiful opportunity for a deep dive into linguistics and character analysis on Anya Forger.

First, I'd like to address my thoughts on "ANIA" as the spelling. Here are a few of my impressions on this:

"ANIA" could be perceived as her original spelling because wherever she came from used this spelling.

"ANIA" could just be her limitation as a child when it came to spelling her name.

"ANIA" could be an acronym from her lab that probably served the purpose of her existence.

"ANIA" could be the name of her mother/creator. And she was subjected to share the same name of her creator for "sourcing" purposes.

"ANIA" when applied to numerology number, reinforced her code name which is 007 (which is super meta to me, but probably is a coincidence because we all know 007 was Endo's way of referencing James Bond). S/O to @momentocollector for sharing this!

Second, I'd like to address "ANIA" as an identity for our precious baby girl.

"Ania" is the chosen spelling. This could possibly mean that this is her real name and how it should be spelled (You, as the owner of your name have every right to decide what your name should be, spelled, or pronounced after all).

"Ania" could possibly be an influence of either her mother-tongue language's spelling.

"Ania" could possibly be due to her limitation of spelling. (I don't think she is aware of how her name should be spelled.)

Recall that Yor carved out Anya's name as "Ania" and didn't question it. This could be a reflection of Yor's own lack of familiarity of Ostanian orthography since she is academically limited, and she would have listened to how Anya would have wanted her name to be spelled. Furthermore, this tells me that Yor's absence of questioning reflects that she accepts her daughter no matter who she is, be it "Ania" or "Anya".

Third, I'd like to address "ANYA" as her name's spelling.

"A-N-Y-A" is the spelling that her papa gave her, which tells her that she can now be on the same playing field as her parents. Their names and titles are all "masks" in this masquerade that they call "Forger". So, to little Anya, it means that she finally belongs with someone. Anya has essentially found "her home".

We also know that Franky did do a lot of paperwork and found that "Anya" is the spelling that was written down on her adoption papers. This reinforces that "Anya" is the standard Ostanian orthography of her name.

I perceive Loid as a person replicating the "average Ostanian" (since this is a deep cover mission after all), so to also tell her that her name is spelled a certain way reinforces that she has a new identity as an "Ostanian child". (I find this quite ironically poetic because it's a "fake man" giving a "fake name" to his "fake daughter").

I also see that when Anya's eyes light up, it could also mean that this new identity in her spelling change meant she was finally liberated from her days as a lab experiment and living in an orphanage.

Fourth, I'd like to address spelling etymology.

Since I'm not a Japanese linguist expert, I found @connoisseursdecomfort post to be quite educational when it came to Japanese spelling.

What we learn from the above post is that "Ania" is an acceptable name spelling in "Old Japanese". But as time progressed, the spelling changed to "Anya" which is the modern-day spelling of this name (this may tie into Anya's character lore).

We can track "i" becomes "y" in the evolution of the alphabet from Phoenician (c. 1000 BC) to Archaeic Greek (c. 750 BC). S/O to @rachellysebrook for this link. (Again, what this reinforces is Anya's background with an unidentified mother country/mother tongue language).

Another thing is that Yor Forger did not react to the spelling of "Ania". It could possibly be that she recognized Anya's limitation, given that her daughter already had poor scores since her admission.

We also learned that Yor, a real Ostanian, seems to be limited with Ostanian orthography which is most likely due to her dropping out of school to take care of Yuri (fake Ostanian /j). From her interaction with Anya, off-screen, it appears that Yor seems indifferent to spelling standards of names (Which is nice! She is subtly against society's norm and I love her for that). Had she been aware of the spelling, she would have been the one to ask instead of Loid. (But again, it must be Loid because it's poetic and has a much more meaningful interaction between "Loid" and "Anya").

Fifth, I'd like to address the name's (possible) impact on character purpose in the story.

"Anya" means mother in Hungarian (S/O to @httplovecraft1890. This inspired my thoughts on "Ania" as a name in the lab). Could this possibly be an inspiration or coincidence? It could be a stretch, but perhaps Anya's purpose in the lab is that she's a "mother weapon" for war.

"Ania" means "gracious" and "merciful" according to Google. Which makes me think that the lab scientists went with this name because it would represent her purpose as a weapon of war. Perhaps Ania becomes the "truth serum" and could be seen as the "angel of death" because she knows the war captor's thoughts and inevitably they are executed (a possible headcanon).

Sixth, I'd like to discuss the factors of the mysterious "unidentified language".

Anya did use "oui" in the anime when Loid had adopted her. This automatically made me think her possible origins could be French, but it could also take another step back in the language family: Romance. What makes this work is that we treat "Classical Language" as a dead language based on what we read/saw in the manga/anime like Latin. Anya has an innate potential to be bi-/multilingual.

Bonus: Seventh, I'd like to talk about the languages in this anime (This is a bit of a ramble but since we're talking about linguistics, I thought why not)...

Based on the dialogues spoken in the anime, we can confirm that English exclamatory (Oh my God, Goddammit, Shit, Wow, Elegant, etc.) and the Japanese language are the main components of the Ostanian language. This is reinforced by many characters who have used English expressions (Loid, Yuri, Yor, Anya, Damian, Henderson, etc.)

What does bug me is whether or not "oui", a French exclamatory, should be categorized as part of the Ostanian language or if that should be categorized for Anya's hidden lore. The reason is that when Loid/Twilight heard Anya say "oui" in front of him, he did not question it. (Perhaps he was too tired to process this, or he excused it as something Anya could have seen on TV and is merely mimicking. I really don't think Twilight would be the type to excuse this realization had he not had the aforementioned state of mind). I'm leaning more towards the latter as this is from Anya's mother tongue language.

In conclusion (or tldr;): "Ania" may be her real name, but "Anya" is her new identity as part of the Forgers.

If you read everything, thank you for your time! The linguist in me is so happy that Endo-san is steeping his foot into linguistic territory. As short as this chapter was, it said A LOT to me linguistically and provided more details to the scraps of lore that we know of Anya but it also tells us a bit more about Yor, Loid/Twilight, and Ostania.

The Yor Forger/Thorn Princess Kick: A Master Post

This post just inspired me to make an appreciation post for Yor/Thorn Princess's kicks.

I love how Anya imagines her mother's combat style is hand-to-hand combat and does imagine her kicking her enemies (probably recalling the time when she saw her parents fight during the Newton's Castle episode and when Loid came home from being kicked by Yor lol)

Also, I love that these kicks seem to be mirroring/referencing previous episodes (let me geek on their similarities)

An Anthology of Linguistic Analyses by XxScarletxRosexX

Of all the peculiar things I could have done with my Master's Degree in Linguistics, I didn't expect that I would be applying everything I learned in Spy x Family. In any case, it's the perfect marriage between my two passions <3

I decided to make a master post of my linguistic analyses because I have a feeling that this will be one hell of a deep dive. It's all thanks to the the Short Mission 11 / Chapter 90.1, which actually made me realize there's so much more to Spy x Family if I revisit the anime AND manga with my linguistic lense.

Below is a list of my published works thus far.

This list will be constantly edited when a new analyses is posted. So, if you wish to have the updated list, be sure to reblog this post (it will be pinned on my page).

Linguistic Jargons:

Discourse: written/spoken communiction or debate; dialogue.

Etymology: study of origin of words and the way in which their meanings of have changed throughought history.

Loss in Translation: to fail to have the same meaning or effectiveness when it is translated into another language; omitted text.

Orthography: spelling system; how letters combine to represent sounds and form words.

Phonology: a system of contrastive relationship among speech sounds that constitute the fundamental components of a language.

Psycholinguistics: the study of the relationship between linguistic behavior and psychological processes, including the process of language acquisition; metalingusitic.

Syntax: the arragnement of words and phrases to create well-formed sentences in a language; grammar.

Rehearsal Tracks

Sharing 2 accomplishments today (in the form of 2 videos). I haven't shown any of my vocal teachers that I can belt/mix my voice for high C's and F's until now because I've always been too scared & insecure--until now. Finally, I've broken that cycle and was fortunate enough to have recorded these 2 milestone achievements!

 1. "Waiting in the Wings" (You can tell my vocal coach wanted me to just stick with head voice but I wanted to surprise him/prove him wrong) 

2. "Seasons of Love" (I couldn't find the timing so I was quiet a lot but I can hit the high C's)

So here are the stats for the Spy x Family Weekend Post as of December 9, 2023.

I did suspect that a large number of people only watch the anime, but seeing a number of people reblogging this made me so happy! I'm honestly so glad to see quite a bunch of SpyxFamily fans who do both! I love doing these kind of mini research/polls because it does tell me what kind of audience I may have on Tumblr in this fandom. I say may because not all of my followers engaged on this post, and most who did are people who are just in the fandom. Nonetheless, it gives me somewhat of idea of post engagement.

I read that someone mentioned that I could have made this into a poll, which could have made this survey more accurate. To be honest, I forgot there was a poll option >///< However, I'm curious that if I had made it into a poll, then would it have had the same engagement activity as above? Also, I realized that the comment section was turned off, so I had no stats on manga-readers only. I apologize for that OTL

Thank you all for interacting with with post! It was so interesting to see the result of this stats, and as a researcher, this just makes me happy to friends in the SxF engage with this post for amusing my curiosity.

SxF family weekend is finally here, and episode 35 is here! Wishing you all a happy SpyxFamily weekend and I'll discuss stuff with ya'll very soon! :D

CHAT BLANC AND QUEEN BEE SPOILERS!!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

FANFICTION | DEVIANTART

Summary: In another life, there were no more secrets between them. They were blissfully in love until Chat Noir was akumatized into Chat Blanc. Inspired by "Chat Blanc" episode. (SPOILERS for those who haven't watched the episode yet).

© Miraculous Ladybug: The Tales of Ladybug and Chat Noir belongs to Thomas Astruc © Picture from “Chat Blanc”

A/N:

I am actually genuinely upset that the episode became the way it did. But because we all know the ending of the season in Miracle Queen 2, it totally made a lot of sense. I am so impressed with how ML had turned out to be. It's so unique in its character development, especially it being the first cartoon/animation where it explores the possibilities of dating and the consequences of allowing the ship to be together (they're high key trolling us and I'm hurting). From a writer's aspect, I think this was a wise approach. You can tell by "looking back in the past" that Astruc and his team had deeply considered the conscience and behavior of teenagers, and by adding that layer in the production, I think it was a good decision to not have Adrien and Marinette date (don't get me wrong, I ship them all the way). But to have Kagami date Adrien and Luka pursue Marinette, they (Kagami and Luka) are the perfect FOIL characters to enhance our main characters and their qualities into the next season. Honestly, I'm in too deep investing in ML since day 1 of their production (Thank you @kuro-d​ for introducing me to them 5-6 years ago ;A; ), and I can't stop watching now. On a final note, I apologize for my lack of activity in "M:TLM" for my other readers who have been waiting for me to update. I'm currently in my last 3-4 weeks of school left, so I've been pretty tight on schedule, and swamped with projects, papers, catching up on readings, and preparing for my final exams. I just had to write this one-shot just for now. I hope you guys enjoy the story!

Relieved.

That was Adrien's first response when he saw the white butterfly landing in his palms. Then stood, Lady Bug… his Marinette. In that moment, his emotions had gone a complete 180.

Devastation.

That was what Adrien had felt when he saw the look on Marinette's expression when he uttered her name. Bunnix's forlorn expression was no better, especially when she confirmed what he had feared would ultimately happen… His fairy tale was over.

He hung his head, and the butterfly, perhaps startled by his actions or departing after confirming the message, fluttered away along with this resignation.

It's over. They're over. He screwed up big time… almost as bad as the time he became Aspik. It was a dream come true, actually, and all the things he and Marinette had done wasn't just a second chance repeating itself, but it still felt like he was still Aspik and re-dialing his bracelet for more time to be with her. But before him stood the second chance.

Ladybug had found the solution as he had always believed she would. But instead of meeting his gaze, she stared at the red and black dotted eraser thoughtfully. That eraser signified a gigantic change despite its small stature, and part of him wished he could grab it and throw it into the water. He wanted to be selfish, he wanted to keep this timeline despite its chaotic state, he wanted to be with Marinette and-

"I'm going to fix everything, Chat Noir!" Marinette ran into his arms and squeezed him tightly.

It felt strange to hear her call him by his alias instead of the usual Adrien. Regardless of where she came from, this was his Marinette… the girl of his dreams and the love of his life. He didn't want to let her go, but-Marinette pulled away from him, without breaking eye contact, "I promise."

His dispute waited behind his lips, ready to fight for keeping his present. But after seeing Marinette alive and smiling, he couldn't help himself and responded, "I never doubted it for a second."

Then she entered the portal with Bunnix and went to whatever destination that she needed to be in, and she was gone.

He sighed in their absence, disappointed once again with his thoughts and soliloquies. If he were to be honest, Adrien hadn't wanted this to happen. He regretted the destruction he caused, but he could never bring himself to regret all of the experiences leading up to this very moment. He found the girl behind-the-mask who was by his side all along, and he hoped to himself that they would find themselves in each other's arms soon.

As if perfectly timed, a wave of ladybugs swirled out of the portal and completely reversed the destruction he had made as Chat Blanc. In front of him stood Marinette and his father as their respective miraculous forms, dazed and confused about what had happened after Chat Blanc's cataclysm had taken place.

Instinctively, he ran into Marinette's arms. He hugged her tight and apologized profusely. He felt her envelop him in her embrace and whisper that everything was going to be okay. Over her shoulder, he looked at his father with a sad expression.

His father only stood before them with his usual silent and critical eyes. Gabriel Agreste nodded once and retreated. He knew he had committed a number of selfish actions towards his son, and he knew that everything returned to normal because his plans had failed once again, and was foiled by Ladybug. He had done enough damage, and he needed to walk away, and that was what he had to do.

Adrien couldn't read his father's expression, but he appreciated that his father gave him and Marinette whatever time left to be together. It was back to being limited again. Without wasting another second, he pulled away to face Marinette, "I don't know how many months or days will vanish, but I just wanted to tell you that I love you, Marinette."

"Adrien…" Marinette responded subconsciously.

"I'm sorry I messed up. I wasn't careful… and if only I hadn't then maybe…"

Marinette had cut him off by putting one finger on his lips. She smiled warmly, but her eyes expressed the same sadness. Her other self was doing the right thing. She knew all along, as well, that they couldn't know their identities. It was also her fault that she wasn't careful when she had given him the present many weeks ago. Tikki had been right all along, and yet she still ignored her, and now they both had a price to pay for getting away with their selfishness. Still, it would have been nice if they fell in love once again.

"We will be okay, Adrien," Marinette promised. "I was selfish for using my miraculous, when I should've listened to Tikki."

"No, Marinette," Adrien insisted, "it wasn't you, it was me… If I didn't transform in public to save you, then maybe Natalie or my bodyguard wouldn't have reported it to my father... We wouldn't have been in this mess… I should've controlled myself."

"Adrien," Marinette cupped his face in her hands, "we're only human after all. We couldn't help it. You saved me from becoming akumatized, and from ultimately losing my miraculous."

"Marinette…"

"Adrien, no matter when and where we'll be, I know someday we will be together again," Marinette consoled the both of them while fighting the tears from streaming down her face. "I'll be waiting for you."

"I love you, Marinette, and I know I'll never stop loving you," Adrien replied as he leaned into her, fingers entwined through each other, and they kissed. Adrien tried to remember the shape and texture of her lips when they were pressed against his. He wanted to ingrain the warmth that radiated from them and poured into his heart. He loved her with all his heart. He loved Marinette Dupain-Cheng. He loved…

"Ladybug?" Adrien had barely opened the door to see his super-heroine crush greet him suddenly in his bedroom. He didn't care that she had intruded into his home, he was just happy to see her. After their short exchange, he sat on his bed, gazing out the window where she had departed from while Plagg nagged in the background about cheese.

If only that present was from her rather than his Brazilian fan club.

Fierce & Resiliency

Look into my eyes And paralyze. You’ll realize The chaos lies, Reigns, and terrorize Where it thrives.

Behind These Eyes.

She dreamed to fly And soar off high, But I’ve seen her die With silent cries, The secret of lies;

Behind These Eyes.

She severed ties With goodbyes. Time goes by, Like passing skies, A life she vies Is drawing nigh.

Behind These Eyes.

And that is why The sparkle’s shy Within her eyes. For every sighs She soars high And always dies-- The cycle, tears dry,

Behind These Eyes.

I Don't Know.

“What if this happened what would you do?”

If there’s anything I learned after 20-almost-21 years of existing, it’s that at the heat of the moment I wouldn’t know what to do.

The first thing I used to say was to take action or the lead in an emergency situation; kiss him back if he kissed me; to comfort those in pain. Despite my answers, despite that I knew I would do these things, when they did happen it rarely came true.

Because at the heat of the moment, fear had chained me down from moving; adrenaline had sent my hand across his cheek; and I avoided them because I didn’t know what to say.

Sometimes I wonder if I really knew myself or if it was a façade. But I know that they’re just both sides of a coin. Because at the heat of the moment, I don’t know who I’ll be.

“I don’t know.”
